Biography

Bao-Thi Van Cong is a PhD student specializing in social psychology at the University of Copenhagen. Their research is focused on understanding the necessary actions that actors can take to promote social justice within locally embedded contexts. They utilize both qualitative and quantitative methods to explore intersectional LGBTQIA+ perspectives and solidarity in the context of social change. The PhD project has three main aims: to shed light on queer perspectives and allyship involving actors who advocate for LGBTQIA+ rights; to investigate the recognition of ethnic minorities within LGBTQIA+ communities and how these perceptions impact group boundaries and the building of solidarity; and to examine the various factors that drive intra- and intergroup solidarity within racialized queer communities. Bao-Thi also teaches courses in Social Psychology and Qualitative Methods, contributing to the faculty's exploration of intergroup relations, social movements, and the application of mixed methods in psychological research.
